A NATIONALLY RANKED UNIVERSITY IN SUNNY SOUTH FLORIDA
Nova Southeastern University has built an excellent reputation for producing confident, capable, caring professionals in our relatively short existence. In fact, NSU was recently ranked 51st in the Times Higher Education Young University Rankings, making us the highest new entry out of 308 international universities.
Our small classes, low student-to-faculty ratio and outcomes—including improved social mobility—have all been reasons publications such as U.S. News & World Report consider NSU Florida to be a top-ranked university.
NSU Florida is the largest not-for-profit university in Florida and a national leader in education—and it’s top-ranked by Forbes, Times Higher Education and U.S. News & World Report.
